For more than two decades, the portable document format (PDF) has been one of the industry standards in digital document storage. It supports a wide range of media types, including both visual content and formatted text, as well as forms and digital signatures. It's by far the most common format for digital forms designed to replace paper forms, and it supports digital signage for official documents. It's one of the most important developments in the move towards paperless office environments and a wide range of core business workflows. In fact, most business documents which are scanned in from hardcopies are also stored as PDF files, which are supported by any modern operating system either for mobile or desktop use. The problem is that the basic PDF reader doesn't offer nearly enough functionality for a lot of users. AvePDF serves as your one-stop repository for all your PDF needs. Launched by Orpalis Imagine Technologies, it provides a set of free web applications designed to help you convert, organize, edit, protect, and optimize PDF files. There's also an online document viewer for those who prefer not to install a PDF viewer on their computer. This is also ideal if the operating system doesn't have a reliable PDF viewing application available for it. A barcode recognition feature is also on its way, bringing more functionality to this extensive set consisting of dozens of tools. Convert documents to PDF While PDF might be the industry standard for documents across all mainstream operating systems, it's by no means the only one. In fact, many documents are written in Word or Excel. Others, particularly those scanned in from a printed document, often take the form of an image file, including formats like JPG, PNG, DXF, SVG, and TIFF. While these formats are also supported widely, there will be occasions where it's best to store them in PDF for complete interoperability across an increasingly wide range of operating systems and programs. AvePDF provides eighteen tools for converting your PDF files to various other formats. You can also scan printed documents directly to PDF or convert PDF to text files. Organize and optimize Some PDF files are extremely large when it comes to file size, making it difficult to send them over the internet. For example, many email services place a low limit on attachment sizes. Larger file sizes also consume more bandwidth, which is a big problem on slower or metered connections. With the tools provided, you can split PDF files into multiple documents, merge smaller documents into one, remove pages, rotate documents, number pages, and compress your files. With the hyper-compression utility, you can reduce most PDF files to a fraction of their original size. You can also remove interactive content, repair damaged files, and remove specific pages. There is also a tool providing optical character recognition (OCR) for turning scanned documents into editable text, which can then be exported into any other document format. Finally, you can digitally sign PDF files using the eSign PDF app. Try out your favorite tools today at https://avepdf.com/en .
